We stayed for our last 2 days at Aathma Colombo as part of our 12 day trip in Sri Lanka. Our trip was a celebration of my dad's 75th birthday and my son's 7th birthday. And the best part of our stay were the 48 hours we spent at Aathma, so much so that my husband and son did not step foot out once we checked in until it was time to leave. From the moment we entered, Dushy Aunty, Niyo, Samir ( who co-run) the resort and the entire staff were warm and welcoming. Dushy Kumar has designed the place with years of effort and collected artefacts from all over the world which give the place a very warm and unique vibe, that we honestly haven't encountered anywhere else in all our travels. It is truly a sanctuary and a museum all rolled into one. Niyo and Samir manage the hotel and were extremely professional and warm towards our entire family. Niyo even gave me shopping recommendations in Colombo and my son was a mini-apprentice for Samir, Niyo and the resort staff for 2 days. All the the staff are extremely courteous and helpful. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, not to mention artful and classy. The place itself is edged by a lake and just being by the various sit- out spaces one can observe plenty of endemic birds and animals. Our meals here were scrumptious and the attention to detail to every little thing was unparalleled. We thank the whole Aathma team for our magnificent experience here.

We had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff are most attentive, the surroundings and accommodation are really quite sublime. Special mention must be made of Milha, Geeth and Imran who went out of their way to make our stay a special memory, especially for my mom who celebrated her seventieth whilst here. Thank you for everything!

What an amazing place - contacted the lady (Dushy) who owns this amazing place and even though they are under refurbishment she was nice enough to accommodate me in their Penthouse. The name of the penthouse is Sufiana. What a place! Words cannot express how amazing this place is - The accommodation was first class, food was first class and the host was first class. I found the atmosphere relaxing especially after a stressful day at work. The view itself just makes you want to unwind and relax. The host (Dushy) was lovely - so accommodating with everything and pandered to every need. 6 stars for this amazing establishment - cannot wait to come back to Sri Lanka and stay here.
